Jameson Pub Cologne in Köln

The place is great to spend with friends and meet people, I recommend it ⭐🤙

Great, pure Ireland. We really enjoyed the evening with friends over Guinness and bangers (sausages). A little loud during karaoke, but definitely not a “deal bracket” and the music itself was great too

I'm sitting in Jameson at this very moment and I saw something totally unhygienic from the bartenders! The bartender had several shot glasses of Ramazotti on a tray. For a reason I don't understand, he poured the shot glasses back into the bottle and put it back in the cupboard. It is absolutely unhygienic! Nobody knows whether the shots were coughed on, whether a customer sipped them or anything like that; Dust must have just fallen on the shots, that's enough. There are three of us sitting here and we are all witnesses. The health department should be informed about such behavior!

You had a lot of fun. It was very crowded but a great atmosphere. For a fiver you can sing one more song at the end. I just say country roooooads, take me home.......

We were at karaoke, the atmosphere was great and very crowded

Atmospheric café with cozy seating areas and friendly staff

Great atmosphere, whether Saturday or Wednesday. Sandwiches are extremely good.

We were there on Saturday evening and wanted to go in with a group. We had to wait for a group to leave so we could go in because it was really crowded. When a group finally came out, no one could remember us. The discussion was a bit annoying. Inside it was very crowded and very narrow, but there were a lot of good karaoke singers who took it very seriously. It wasn't the karaoke we had in mind for a party night. I estimate the average age to be a maximum of 30. In short, it wasn't quite our cup of tea, but it was certainly the right thing for fans of serious karaoke.

Had a great evening. Everything just felt right. Very pleasant, hardworking waitresses who effortlessly found you in the enormous crowds and kept serving, nice people and lots of fun with the karaoke. Recommended!

Great place. Nice staff and atmosphere. For the first time in Germany and I realized that before that I didn’t drink beer ❤️🇩🇪

Beer prices unfortunately too high to give any more stars. 2 euro pints each and we spent 34 euros incl. Tips. Just too expensive. Service and atmosphere are good though.

Best Irish breakfast outside of Ireland. I got a vegan breakfast, which includes toast, chips, vegan sausages and baked beans. My boyfriend got a full Irish breakfast and he loved it. He also got a pint of Guinness, and said it was the nicest pint he's had outside of Ireland. So impressed by this pub, I'd highly recommend to anyone looking for good food and drinks. The staff are also lovely!

Lovely little pub, the food is tasty, and you get plenty. The staff were very friendly and welcoming.

Had a drink there and we liked the ambience and atmosphere. Nice pub. We didn't eat there, but the guests at the neighboring tables seemed happy.

Very good spontaneous visit and then stayed for dinner

Nice evening, the atmosphere was very good again. The waitresses were all very friendly. We are already planning our next visit. Tip: Try the Irish Car Bomb and the Baby Guiness

Noc place for drinks, sports and Karaoke.

Irish pub that meets my expectations in this type of place The place is warm

Cosy and lively pub. Great beers and live game. I watched English Premier League and it was a great atmosphere. Very friendly staffs. Very convenient location 🍺🍻🍺

Live music , people speak English, easy the find drinking mates

Unfortunately no Irish music. Instead, some nonsense

Large Irish pub...just what you would expect....

Tourist trap. Prices are astronomical!

Amazing place, one of my favorite pubs in town. It's a regular Irish pub in the front half of it and a huge karaoke place in the back half. There's also a nice terrace in front of it, good for warm evenings. The crowd is very diverse and exciting. Service is ok, sometimes it takes a long time to be able to get a drink, which is pretty normal considering that the place is always full. A great place to have some fun with friends.

It is to live an experience, very entertaining and to taste beers

If you speak German, that's good. If you speak some kind of or proper English, the answer is also in English. I feel like I'm in London or Dublin.

The karaoke weekends at Jameson are always really nice. The atmosphere is great and the staff is great. The audience is diverse and everyone is welcome. We really enjoy coming to the pub!!!

Karaoke evening! We had a really good time in the pub. I particularly liked the rustic atmosphere. Food was delicious! Thanks

The ambience and the food 🍔 are great and I especially like being there when it's karaoke evening, as the mood cannon IMAN ensures a perfect evening 😍 you can't miss that voice 🪩

Wild birds! Best karaoke show there is. Moderation 10/10. Iman, brother, she can also sing unusually well. Perfect mix of party, entertainment and good music. Always happy to come 🫶🏽

I love this casual place and this pub vibe ❤️. Karaoke is available three evenings a week. A special highlight for me is Iman's performance, who also sets up the songs at the same time and makes almost every wish possible with her cool, original and warm-hearted manner. Hearing them sing is an absolute feast for the ears.

From all management to the service staff, a lot of effort and (wo)manpower is put into the store. The food and drink selection are higher priced, but at the same time very reliably good. You can spend a quiet morning/afternoon there in a very nice atmosphere, as well as an energetic karaoke night, a funny and exciting quiz evening, or simply watch football and other sports. There is actually always something going on and moving, but as I said: it is also possible to spend nice, quiet moments there. It can get very crowded on weekends, but in my experience the pub people rock it pretty well. Greetings go out especially to Jesse, Julie, Kalina, Aphrodite, Marialena, (and everyone else)!

Love it there, the atmosphere with the new DJs is just great. It was so great the other day, the system didn't work well for a while, but the DJs still heated up the place with the audience and the singers. The problem would be solved super quickly and then it would get even better! Just a nice atmosphere and a lot of queer people there now!

Both Pub and karaoke bar. Super cozy

Great place for karaoke, not too expensive either. Had a blast and everyone singing along was so much fun!

Affordable cider in Germany! Can't ask for anything better!

Eat: The two pies shown in the photo (Steak and Ale and Chicken and Mushroom) with gravy and fresh fries were extremely tasty, albeit very spicy. (Encourages drinking 😉). Ambiance: Rustic and very cozy. The lighting is dim, i.e. rather dark, which can be a challenge if you have difficulty seeing. There are a few steps in the restaurant that are relevant depending on the seat you choose. In any case, you have to climb a flight of stairs to the basement to go to the toilet. One star deducted due to sometimes longer waiting times for service and not consistent accessibility.

Edit: We were there on October 4th. back and are extremely disappointed. Apparently Queen May is no longer there and the new blonde presenter doesn't compare. The Jamesons Pub is no longer an Irish pub. The new presenters ask for tips after every second song. What's that supposed to mean???? What I found particularly bad: The presenter made fun of the “not very good” singers and didn't even respond to the audience. Birthday children were simply ignored. The “show” didn’t start until 45 minutes later than it originally was. We were used to better things from Queen May. Unfortunately, it is no longer the show that you know from Jameson’s Karaokebar. Originally from April 2nd, 2022: Unforgettable evenings at Jameson's Pub with Queen May. The atmosphere at the karaoke evenings is incomparable! There is singing, dancing and there is also food and drink. Great quality of food and drinks! The service staff are excellent: they always look at the guests, if someone comes over or the drink is empty, they immediately ask if they would like to order something. Always my pleasure!

Very nice atmosphere and cool karaoke nights!! On a Saturday evening nevertheless some people were singing on repeat and the rest had to wait a lot till it was their turn to sing..

Super cool pub! The atmosphere was there and their food was also nice!

The best steak and ale pie I have ever eaten

The food and drink selection was very extensive. We ate well, the price was a bit more than we thought but still within reason. The service was good but could be a bit "faster". The burger was good but could have had a bit more sauce and seasoning.

Lots of audience, lots of karaoke, lots of interesting people and a special beer

A nice bar to hang out in. The karaoke evening is highly recommended! Pure atmosphere!

Completely overpriced. The ambience is quite cool, but in my opinion it doesn't justify paying €7-8 for a beer.

We were there at the weekend for the karaoke. The DJ was completely overwhelmed and from around 9:30 p.m. you could no longer register. When asked how long there was only one *not at all today*. Over the course of the evening we noticed that the same people were always singing. There wasn't really a party atmosphere because a lot of people were upset. We couldn't order drinks either because there was only one waiter for the whole store. You can't drink cocktails there at all and have little to do with a cocktail. This was the last visit for us!

Always something on like quiz night, bands, karaoke.

Fun karaoke, good service! Always worth a visit

We went there for karaoke. Very tasty food, nice service and a great show. Gladly again! That was a year ago... Now I'm almost a regular at karaoke. KJ May is awesome! It's so much fun and, despite the very full shop, the service is always nice and tries to fulfill all your wishes. Update: We were there again yesterday. The food is still excellent. Only KJ May is missing. The gentleman who organized the evening did his job well, but unfortunately it wasn't a show like May usually made of it. Nevertheless, the mood was good.

Lively busy bar with in Cologne

Karaoke evening was very fun, nice rustic decor, had a cocktail without alcohol, recommended baby colada

Very cool bar with great events (karaoke). However, the service staff is sometimes noticeably stressed.

Almost pretty nice, just for the KARAOKE they don’t respect the que for the songs, either you ask for a song and will never appear or they give priority to other people no matter if your name appears first. That happened to a friend of mine, we went on Saturday (Sept 7th, 2024). She wanted to sing a song, first she was on the 22th place, after more than a hour, she asked for her song and was in place 16th. For short time, her name appeared on the screen and suddenly disappeared. At the end, she could not sing the song she wanted on her Birthday’s party. So, for the karaoke I wouldn’t expect much for the next time. They are not fair.

Yesterday we went to the Jameson for karaoke because we heard that there is always a mega karaoke party there on the weekend. Unfortunately we (6 people) were absolutely disappointed. The DJ wanted money for singing and seemed to be begging for a tip after every third song. We were a bit surprised because we were also told that this was really the karaoke shop par excellence. It was so moderately full that there was hardly any atmosphere. I think the DJ was more celebrating herself. Sorry, it's really not fun

I only ate nachos, they were ok. Orders were sometimes forgotten and we waited forever. All the employees were very friendly and made an effort. All in all, a nice evening with a great atmosphere.

We are regular guests and always come with a very large group on the weekend for the karaoke. Last weekend, however, was catastrophic. No karaoke show/no atmosphere, the young man who moderated it was totally overwhelmed and had nothing under control and hardly spoke any German. We had to wait almost 3 hours for our first song. There's usually a great atmosphere thanks to Queen May, who usually hosts it. We hope that she will be back soon Then we'll be there again.

I will avoid the store in the future. Was there often, but on Saturday the waitress gave the wrong change on an order twice. When I got angry the second time and asked if she was serious, she gave me the remaining amount. I turned around with my order and security stood in front of me, took the drinks from me and escorted me out. Security was relaxed because I was too, I don't blame him, but I paid 16.20 for two rum Cokes that I had to leave at the counter immediately after handing over. Reason from security: "We have house rules here!" Then there was no need for any discussion and I left. I was actually happy to be there often. Even if it was a bit more expensive. Now I say to myself “never go against it” and I can only strongly recommend that everyone count the change exactly

Nice Irish pub in Cologne. Great ambience. Beer (IPA) on tap and long drink were tasty. Prices relatively expensive. Karaoke was well attended.

We ate chili concarne there. It was very, very tasty and we will definitely be back. The service was very friendly and quick.

Excellent service. Good food & good beer.

Crazy atmosphere! Packed with cool people, nice music, nice team!!!! Love the karaoke!!! Carefull on Saturday it's a LOT of people, book or queue!

!Calculate incorrectly. They wanted to charge me €15 too much! {Addendum: A complaint was made about this review because there was allegedly no business relationship. As you can see, my review is legitimate and has been checked. When I read newer reviews, I think it's a shame that the complainant hasn't improved the management in the restaurant and is trying to have bad reviews deleted instead of accepting criticism and improving. Because of this, now only 1 star instead of 2.} Original review: The waiters were very overwhelmed and also very unfriendly. Even after 2 hours we (4) were not asked if we wanted anything to eat. Only the drinks were included at the beginning, which weren't really that special. Lots of ice in my cocktail. Furthermore, the pub quizzes are not free, as stated on the website or when making a reservation, but cost per participant. In addition, the speakers in our corner didn't work, so you couldn't hear anything except what was on the screen and there were audio quizzes. Supposedly the cost was said about the microphone, only that they don't work. The screen partially flickered. Then the quiz is collected in the first run, but not again after that. If you then go to the waiters, you will only be shouted at and no longer allowed to take the quiz. Definitely not recommended!

Irish pub feeling is very important here. Great atmosphere at karaoke. Food solid but nothing special

Good service, nice people, good music, international audience. That's why knowledge of English is helpful.

It's very nice. Prices are okay. It's best on the karaoke evening

Best karaoke bar in Cologne. We come with a larger group every few months. The karaoke show is a lot of fun and well organized. Any request for music will be accepted and even brought forward if you let us know that the taxi is waiting. :) Thank you very much for many unforgettable evenings. Yesterday again on the occasion of a JGA. We had a lot of fun and would love to come back again and again!

You pay a little extra, but it has a nice atmosphere. Friendly staff, clean toilets.

Nice location. We had a lot of fun and will be back! Only the billing was a bit bumpy, hence 1 star deduction. Unfortunately, half isn't possible.

Visited during the day. Enjoyed a kolsh as per recommendation of the bartender and really liked it. Overall a very good experience.

Good atmosphere - expensive drinks.

If you're in the mood for karaoke and Irish beer, you've come to the right place

Great food and great place to watch sport. Nice vibes

An Irish pub in Koln, an amazing atmosphere, served at the bar, Guinness draft beer, but not as good as the one drunk in Dublin.

Great food and huge portions. Good for sport.

Not much to add here. Great place. Good drinks and food. Highly recommended.

Last Friday we went to the pub for a karaoke night. We came at 00:30 in the pub but sadly all the songs for karaoke were already chosen till 03:30( end of the night). So we could not sing. Really bad!!!! and the DJ woman didn't care about the petitions of many guests that wanted to sing. For the rest nice pub.

Great place to chill and watch a football match. The grilled chicken blue cheese burger and wedges was delicious and the atmosphere was great.

Karaoke is very entertaining. Great mood. 😃❗️ I thought it was great. The only catch... when everyone sitting above stands up... unfortunately you can't see anything anymore. Edit: Now with entry

Been there for a Euro watch party and karaoke night. One of the best places to visit when in Cologne.

The karaoke lady was great, the acoustics weren't that good. The glasses are nice and big!

Bit of a rabbit warren inside and can get hot when busy but it's a decent place to watch sport and the atmosphere was good with everyone mixing without trouble during the Euros

Great few days in cologne for the euros . We used Jamesons as our hub throughout our stay . Great food , great staff and clientele . We were lucky enough to see the resident band on Wednesday night . The place was bouncing . Thank you Jamesons . You certainly enhanced our visit to your lovely city .

This was a surprise choice last minute on our trip to Cologne. Emiliano was cheerful, super helpful and inspired of the crowd, the crazy vibe and music, never missed to take our order and deliver it. The staff looked happy working with each other and I must say Irish pubs do not disappoint (3 of 3 I have visited). I think the evening close to a weekend is a great time to visit but places go quickly in the section where all the fun happens.

Delicious pub food, cold beer, served quickly and super nice staff. We always feel really comfortable here.

I know that there is currently the European Football Championship but this type of service shocked me. So far, despite the warning, the experiences in this establishment have been good except for the really slow service. This is currently increasing to a really substandard performance, the ordering alone took more than half an hour, but the delivery currently takes more than 60 minutes. I understand why the staff is stressed due to the rush, but not why the management doesn't anymore has hired or booked service staff for such peak times.

great spot, we originally went there for the live music but as usual the UEFA took over - but the atmosphere was so great that it didn’t do our evening any harm. we’ve been here multiple times before and will definitely come again. BUT Celiacs be careful! the dishes are wrongfully labeled as gluten free here such as the wedges and the fries (after specifically asking whether they are gluten free indeed i got a no for an answer)

Good music, fun karaoke evenings and delicious beer. What more could you want 🍺

We only got 1 pint as it was over an hour wait for a fry up... Table next to us had waited 1 hour and 40 by the time we left. Staff pook ragin so maybe something we don't know about but, still.

2 beers, 1 cola and 3 burgers normal price: 50€ eurocopa price: 80€ 30€ extra just because of the football, they should say it in advance…

Actually good, nice service and a good atmosphere at the karaoke, but two points of criticism: drink prices are quite high, 3.80 for a 0.3 Kölsch is really a word, even for today's times. There were also drunk football fans from Switzerland (?) sitting outside that evening who were shouting loudly, some with Nazi slogans. There are idiots everywhere, but here the staff or the operator should have intervened.

A very nice pub! There is everything here: good atmosphere, nice people, beer! Karaoke in particular is a lot of fun!

We have SO FAR only positive reviews. Laura, the waitress is JUST AMAZING she is wonderful super profesional friendly and kind. We just love her best waitress that I found in Köln until now. The rest of the staff is wonderful too, is a wonderful team. The food is amazing specially the buffalo wings and the cheese burger wow! Just sublime. The environment is amaizing too, the atmosphere was so fun and nice and karaoke is SUPER; we have a lot of fun. Definitely my fav place in Köln.

Totally worth it, a must visit if you are in Cologne

Very nice, fast service and an important Irish pub

Very rude bartender (with tattoos)

It would have been a 5-star rating, but your bartender (the tall guy with tattoos) decided that he wouldn't serve us before he serves a guy that cut in line, because apparently "he makes the rules and he decides who to serve." This happened after I repeatedly told a guy who was trying to cut in line, to go to the end of the line. The guy came after us to the bar and was waiting on the wrong side of the bar (for the staff). Instead of addressing this, the bartender chose to ignore it and instead told us, in a very primitive way, that he decides who is going to be served. This behavior very much speaks to his manners, or rather, the lack of them. What a shame for such a good place

Really great pub. Everyone is welcoming, there's always a great jam session on Thursdays and great karaoke with May on the weekends. If you're single, you can come to the store every first Tuesday of the month from 9 p.m. There is singing and you can get to know each other.

Good pub grub and even a stir fry, good beer, large bar area and outdoor seating, sports tvs.

Hey guys, I just have to say how cool the evening was at Jemsons Pub. So, if you're in Cologne and want a really good beer, then this is the place to be. The beer selection is amazing - from the classics to the craft beers, the guys there know what they're doing. I tried a few varieties and was really impressed. I particularly liked the IPA, it has such a fresh hop note, just great. But what would a good beer be without the right atmosphere, right? No problem at Jemsons, because the atmosphere there is great. It's somehow cozy and stylish at the same time, with lighting that's just chill and music that's not too intrusive. The crew there is also great. Not only are they quick with the beer, they're also really nice. You immediately feel like a regular guest, even if it's your first time there. So, long story short: Jemsons Pub is a real insider tip for anyone who is in Cologne and is looking for a place with character, good beer and a relaxing time. I'm already a fan and will definitely stop by more often.

One of the best Irish pubs in Köln, pity the food is not as good as it use to be, but apart from that a great location
